Britain to Bask in 'Summer's Last Hurrah'
Temperatures to Soar to 26C
The UK is set to enjoy a brief respite from the recent unsettled weather, with temperatures expected to reach a sizzling 26C in some parts of the country on Thursday and Friday. This warm spell is being dubbed "summer's last hurrah" as it is likely to be the final burst of warm weather before autumn sets in.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for extreme heat in parts of England and Wales, with the highest temperatures expected in the south and east.
Heavy Rainfall on the Horizon
However, the warm weather is not expected to last, with heavy rainfall forecast for the weekend. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain for much of the UK from Saturday onwards.
The rain is expected to be heaviest in the west and northwest, with some areas likely to see flooding.
Tips for Staying Safe in the Heat
The Met Office has issued some advice for staying safe in the heat:
- Drink plenty of fluids and avoid excessive alcohol.
- Spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm.
- Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.
- Take cool showers or baths.
- Check up on vulnerable friends and relatives.
If you experience any symptoms of heat-related illness, such as dizziness, nausea, or vomiting, seek medical attention immediately.
